• A conflicting report from FLA Today( http://www.floridatoday.com/floridatoday/blogs/spaceteam/2006/08/ernesto-forecast-better-but-still.html ): "6:50 a.m. update: The shuttle team has been advised to continue with work necessary to allow for a rollback of shuttle Atlantis beginning at 9 a.m. but no official word is available about a final decision to do so. NASA managers met at 5 a.m. By about 6:30 a.m., the Rotating Service Structure moved out of the way of Atlantis on the pad."

• Too bad the http://science.ksc.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/rrg2.pl?encoder/lc39.rm stream doesn't work for a couple of days now.

• According to the FloridaToday the shuttle should start moving any minute now:
  
  NASA is still debating whether to roll back or not. First motion of the crawler is targeted for 9:39 a.m., and the weather briefing to management is still ongoing. A new estimate for the trip time is 10 hours instead of 12. We'll report the final decision as soon as we confirm it.

  It's because they still have to jack up the Crawler 6 ft so it can lift the MLP of the pedestals at the pad.
